About the Role

North Country Property Maintenance Inc. is seeking motivated, reliable, and hardworking individuals to join our winter operations team as Sidewalk Shovelers in the Owen Sound area.

The ideal candidate is dependable, works safely, and is physically capable of performing manual labour outside in challenging winter conditions.

This is a seasonal, on call position requiring full availability during snow events, including early mornings, overnight shifts, weekends, and holidays. You must be prepared to respond when weather conditions require service.

- Complete assigned routes efficiently and in accordance with company standards.
- Maintain a professional and courteous demeanour while working on customer properties.
- Work independently and as part of a team in changing winter weather conditions.
- Follow all company safety policies,



including the proper use of required personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Use all applications required by the Company to work effectively.
- Follow all procedures and complete all required documentation.

Required:

- Valid Ontario G Class driver's licence (or other Provincial equivalent) with a clean driver's abstract.

- First Aid certification.

Previous snow removal experience is an asset, but not required.

What We Offer

- Work that is weather dependent, with shifts primarily during snowfall and challenging winter conditions rather than sunny days.
